The Situation

"She wants me to delete dating apps but we're not exclusive yet"

The Brutal Truth

He’s not ready to commit but wants to keep his options open. By telling you to delete apps, he avoids responsibility for defining your relationship while keeping his freedom. This is a classic sign of someone who fears commitment.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might agree to delete the apps to avoid losing him, thinking it will somehow earn his exclusivity. This is wrong because it ignores their own needs and worth, putting the other person’s comfort above their own boundaries.
